Reasons to be Cheerful #4: Moffus!

May 31, 2008 — Andy

Tonight’s Doctor Who is the first part of Steven Moffat’s two-parter. Moffat has recently been announced as the new “showrunner”, an announcement very much to be welcomed, if you ask me. (Also an announcement that readers of Lib Dem Blogs cannot fail to have been aware of!)

A show like Doctor Who needs a turnover of new thinking every so often in the production team, no matter how good the previous incumbents are/were. I think it’s very laudable that RTD has set up this prototype cycle of four seasons, then a year off with a few specials to allow the new production team the time to stop and think about any changes they want to make, away from the treadmill of making the show. Lets hope it leaves the show in a strong position to keep going as long as it did the first time.
